“A Summary of the WWDC26 Group Lab”

I’m familiar with using ModelSortGroupComponent to control draw order, but how does RealityKit determine the draw order between model sort groups? How can I enforce a specific draw order between two model sort groups that require different depth pass modes and therefore can't be combined into a single model sort group? Are there model bounding box tricks I can safely rely on?

I'm looking for a comprehensive overview of the new requirements that Apple has enacted recently. I understand one new requirement is that the apps be built with XCode 12. Of course that many not even be correct, I just heard that somewhere. Any help finding the official word on this would be greatly appreciated.

I have developed three apps using the Screen Time API. The following are common problems I encountered in the three apps: DeviceActivityMonitorExtension is automatically killed after running for a few days (frequently) The same DeviceActivityEvent in DeviceActivityMonitorExtension is triggered twice during eventDidReachThreshold (especially obvious in iOS18.5) Screen Time authorization is automatically canceled for no reason (occasionally) I hope to get help

It seems like the SIMD-group shuffle instructions (e.g. simd_shuffle(), simd_shuffle_down(), simd_shuffle_xor() etc. – subsection 5.13) aren't supported on iOS (#include <metal_simdgroup> throws an error).I'd like to know why aren't these instructions available on iOS – is it because the GPU architectures don't allow for these instructions to be implemented (why?), or is there any other reason?Furthermore is there a plan to add these instructions to iOS?

App rejected that the different durations of your auto-renewable subscriptions were created as separate in-app purchase products, rather than as different durations within the same subscription group.I have two IAP items in two different groups (Group A - Item 1, GroupB - Item 1). How can I move the second group item to the first group? I want to make sure to not affect any users by creating a new item in group 1 because there already subscribers in group 2.If I create a new item in Group A what will happen to the Group B subscribers.I looked for this issue and couldn't find any solution.

Hey there 👋 I know it is possible to add a beta tester to an external tester group via this call. But what I didn't find out is how to add an User to an internal tester-group like App Store Connect Users. This gets even more a topic since Apple announced that we can create multiple internal tester groups in future. Is this possible with the current state of the ASC API?

I am unable to add Internal Groups to the builds. Tried it twice with two different builds, but after the processing and compliance confirmation, I am unable to add groups. They are disabled. Is there someone who is facing the same issue?

When searching for the answer to an issue, I found it very useful in the old forums to see how many responses there were for a certain topic (i.e. > 0), so I wouldn't waste time in opening an unanswered topic. Is it possible to add it to the new forums?

I have 2 groups on test flight. I have assigned one build to the group 1, but when it got approved, it went to the group 2 as well. The user who has received it had automatic updates On; anyway, they shouldn't have received the update

From 2021.01.01 to 2021.01.31, the Summary Sales Report found 1503 rows with units of -1. The App Store Server notification found 2508 messages with notification_type of REFUND. Why is there a difference between the two data?

Hi I'm setting up Sign in with Apple on my app, and also want to offer it on the web-app version. I get the idea of grouping the app and website in the Identifiers section so the user doesn't get asked to ok things twice - that makes sense, but how do I give my website an ID in my apple dev account so that I can group it with the app please? Or am I misunderstanding the process? Thank you for your time and help.

There is a volunteer run group on GitHub who maintain a well known public domain cross-platform Python script. They build binaries for Linux, Windows and macOS. The macOS binaries are only ad-hoc signed. Thus, in macOS 15, they are rejected by Gatekeeper – requiring user intervention to be used. There are a lot of components each of which must be approved in Settings with admin credentials. It would be best if these binaries were code signed. However, the core group of devs changes over time and so, using one person's name might not be ideal. Can such a volunteer group apply for a developer certificate so that they can sign the macOS binaries ? I ask because Apple's requirements for enrolling in the Development Program include that an organisation be a legal entity and this group is not a legal entity. Thnaks.

In order for data (contained within a number of our created apps) such as user IDs, email addresses and user specific text stings to be shared between apps, we are considering saving this data to the shared container's NSUserDefaults using an app group.We would like to ask you the following question:How safe is the shared container for an App Group from a security perspective?We searched for an official Apple document, however, we were unable to find material stating clearly the safety of an app group's shared container.Below is what material we found through our investigation.- https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documentation/General/Conceptual/WatchKitProgrammingGuide/DesigningaWatchKitApp.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40014969-CH3-SW1　Overview > WatchKit App Architecture > Sharing Data with Your Containing iOS App　An app group is a secure container that multiple processes can access.- https://www.apple.com/business/docs/iOS_Security_Guide.pdfIf there is any oth
